Torch Fire And Security, LLC

Torch Fire And Security, LLC, a veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (VOSB/SDVOSB) sole proprietorship based in Boise, Idaho, operates as a prime contractor delivering wildland fire suppression equipment, trained personnel, and incident response services exclusively to federal land management agencies, primarily the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center. The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-aside vehicles—thirteen $250,000-ceiling VIPR Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements and a $50 million Intermountain Stewardship BPA—and does not pursue or hold full-and-open prime contracts; every award in the source record carries a small business set-aside or is issued without set-aside as a delivery order under a set-aside parent vehicle.

Torch Fire And Security's capability portfolio centers on Type 4 and Type 6 wildland fire engines, water tenders, chippers, masticators, mobile communications units, satellite services, and trained personnel including engine crews, fallers, water handling teams, and incident management support. Representative prime work includes a $143,671.20 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) in August 2025 for Type 6 engines, water tenders, chippers, masticators, and trained personnel; a $153,300 delivery order in August 2024 for comprehensive firefighting equipment and personnel across multiple incident types; and a $299,400 purchase order in August 2024 for satellite service support to the Boulder Complex incident. The company holds thirteen $250,000-ceiling VIPR I-BPA IDVs, each structured as a Total Small Business set-aside and focused on specific capability categories—water handling (East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9; Region 6 Pacific Northwest), chainsaw repair (Regions 3 and 4), helicopter operations support (Region 13 National), mobile communications units (Region 13 National), fallers (East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4), chippers (East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4), and vehicle-with-driver (Regions 1 and 4, Region 4 only, and Regions 5 and 6 West Zone). Additionally, Torch Fire And Security holds a $50 million Intermountain Stewardship BPA covering Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming through October 2032.

Customer concentration is extreme and customer-specific. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region accounts for 148 awards (42% of the source portfolio) valued at $56.2 million combined potential value—substantially larger than any other customer. The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) contributes 70 awards worth $9 million combined potential value, primarily through VIPR I-BPA awards. The top five customers (R4-Intermountain, NIFC, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Washington Office Acquisitions, and R6-Pacific Northwest) account for 295 awards and $68.4 million combined potential value, covering 97% of the vendor's dollar footprint. This concentration reflects the vendor's specialized positioning in federal wildland fire suppression as a sole-source or limited-competition awardee on set-aside vehicles where competing vendors are scarce.

The company places task orders under thirteen VIPR Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 ceiling values. The top five parent vehicles—Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7590 (61 task orders, $2.5 million), 1284M819T7129 (29 task orders, $754 thousand), 1202SB23T7256 (26 task orders, $685 thousand), 1202SB25T7632 (22 task orders, $1.4 million), and BPA AG84M8B167068 (22 task orders, $710 thousand)—account for approximately 160 task orders and $5.9 million combined potential value. All parent vehicles are VIPR I-BPAs or the Intermountain Stewardship BPA, awarded by NIFC or USDA Forest Service under Total Small Business set-asides.

Activity has fluctuated over the past five years: 52 awards in 2022, declining to 26 in 2023, rebounding to 64 in 2024, declining to 35 in 2025, and reaching 46 in 2026 year-to-date (through September 1, 2026). The most recent award was a $17,100 delivery order issued September 1, 2026. The source does not identify a recompete cliff by name; however, the oldest VIPR I-BPA parent vehicles expire between May 2028 and August 2031, with the majority expiring in May–June 2029, representing significant recompete activity concentrated over the next 24–36 months. The $50 million Intermountain Stewardship BPA, awarded in 2019 with an ultimate completion date of October 2032, carries the company's largest single vehicle but faces potential recompete when the contract approaches maturity.

Torch Fire And Security operates entirely as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The corporate structure lists a named subsidiary, Milbros Excavation LLC, registered as a veteran-owned small business and SDVOSB; the source does not describe the operational or strategic relationship between Torch Fire And Security and Milbros or indicate whether Milbros performs work under federal contracts.

The combined potential value across 348 prime awards is $70.4 million, with $10.6 million obligated to date (15% of potential value). The category concentration is heavily weighted toward Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310, 227 awards) and Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression work (PSC category, 309 awards), confirming the vendor's exclusive focus on federal wildland fire response and land stewardship. The vendor serves 13 distinct federal customer agencies but derives 84% of its award count and 97% of its dollar value from USDA entities, primarily the Forest Service and NIFC. Torch Fire And Security operates as a specialized sole-proprietorship without subcontractors, holding no parent contracts, no vehicle positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, and no relationships with prime contractors; the vendor's entire revenue footprint derives from direct awards on set-aside vehicles where it competes as a small business or holds prepositioned capacity.
